Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:11:22 GMT

Ksenia Fadeyeva, an ally to the imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was sentenced to nine years in prison for alleged extremist activities by a Siberian court on Friday.Fadeyeva is the former head of Navalny’s local headquarters in the city of Tomsk, where she also served as city council member. On Friday, she was sentenced to 9 years in prison and fined about €5,000. The court charged her with alleged activities in an extremist organisation while holding her official position, according to Mediazona.“What happened in this trial has nothing to do with justice. We’ve actually been bullied for the last week. The defense was limited in the stage of presenting evidence,” Fadeyeva’s lawyer said after the trial on Friday, according to Mediazona.The state prosecution — which demanded a 10.5 year prison term for Fadeyeva — was allowed to present “months of evidence over more than 25 court hearings,” but Fadeyeva’...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:11:22 GMT

(CNN) — Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller said Thursday the allegations of domestic violence against him are “100% false” and “completely wrong and blown out of proportion” in his first public comments since he was accused of assaulting his pregnant girlfriend.“Me and my girlfriend, we have problems just like any other couple does, but there has never been any of those things that was alleged against me,” Miller said. “Hopefully over time, all of this stuff will get cleared up. Sometimes life just be life-ing. You’ve just got to keep pushing and keep moving. The people who know me and the people who have been around me know my character, they know who I am.”When asked what was not true about the allegations, he said, “All of it is incorrect.”Miller, who is originally from DeSoto, Texas, was in his home state during the Bills’ bye week when police responded to the alleged incident on November 29. Miller turned himself in to the Glenn Heights Police Department on Nove...

‘A huge shock to the system’: Doctors warn about asthma inhaler switch coming in January

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:11:22 GMT

(CNN) — Starting January 1, a drug that thousands of patients depend on to help them breathe will disappear from pharmacy shelves, and doctors are concerned patients may have delays switching to alternatives and getting them covered by insurance.Manufacturer GSK has said it’s discontinuing the branded asthma inhaler Flovent, and instead is making an “authorized generic” version, which is identical but without the same branding.Physicians who treat patients with asthma say the authorized generic will work just as well as the branded drug, but it doesn’t appear to be covered as widely by insurers. That may mean patients will have to obtain new prescriptions and sort out coverage hurdles at the height of respiratory virus season.“This medication has been the most commonly used inhaled medication for the past 25 or 30 years,” said Dr. Robyn Cohen, a pediatric pulmonologist at Boston Medical Center. “It’s the one that, overwhelmingly, pediatricians reach for when they decide that th...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:11:22 GMT

(CNN) — Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who admitted to helping her boyfriend kill her abusive mother in a case that generated national attention, was released from prison on parole Thursday, a Missouri corrections official told CNN.Blanchard pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in 2016 after confessing that she convinced her boyfriend to stab her mother Dee Dee Blanchard to death as she slept.

Dee Dee was found to have convinced those around her, including doctors, that her daughter was afflicted with leukemia and muscular dystrophy among other ailments — a subject examined in the HBO Max documentary “Mommy Dead and Dearest.”Blanchard admitted to being in the house at th...
